Volunteer translators needed!

[Tom Keffer]

This is something that almost anyone who knows a language besides English can do. No technical skills are necessary!

Thanks to user Karen, a key feature of the up-and-coming V4.6 is easy localization of the skins that come with WeeWX. Right now, they have all been localized to English, but only one (Seasons) to other languages (German and Thai). I'd like to see more translations before the release.

For the moment, let's focus on the Seasons skin, because that's what most people use. Attached is the English localization file for Seasons. All you have to do is go through the file line by line, translating the right hand side to your native language. For example, if you wanted to localize to the French language, you would change this

    "Current Conditions" = Current Conditions
    "Current Weather Conditions"  = Current Weather Conditions
    "Day" = Day
    "from" = "from"     # Direction context. The wind is "from" the NE
    "Maximum Temperature" = Maximum Temperature
    ...

to this

    "Current Conditions" = Conditions Actuelles
    "Current Weather Conditions"  = Conditions Météorologiques Actuelles
    "Day" = Jour
    "from" = de     # Direction context. The wind is "from" the NE
    "Maximum Temperature" = Température maximale

    ...

And so on. Easy!

Alternatively, if your GitHub-fu is up to it, you can send me a PR with a new localization file in the target language.

Please: native or fluent speakers only! We don't need Google translations!

Thanks.

What we ask people for is to translate the file en.conf attached to the initial post. Could you think to do that? 

I guess it would be no good idea if we try to pull the greek words out of your repository without knowing anything about the greek language. That would not work.

 

[Δημήτρης Βήχος]

i think greek users , need greek instructions  , german users need german instructions etc. with this thought , my instructions in github are in greek.

however this is my greek translate in en.conf .

[Tom Keffer]

Thank you for the Greek translations!

While it would be nice, maintaining native language instructions is way beyond the capabilities of this all-volunteer project!

I found an entry in skin.conf missing in en.conf:

For German:

[HistoryReport]

    monthnames = Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Mai, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Okt, Nov, Dez

and some translations for Beaufort as text version would also be helpful.

Here is my german version, used in current.inc:

#if $varExists('day.windSpeed') and $current.windSpeed.raw is not None
  #if $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 0
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Windstille'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 1
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Leiser Zug'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw  == 2
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Leichte Brise'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 3
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Schwache Brise'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 4
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Mäßige Brise'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 5
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Frische Brise'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 6
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Starker Wind'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 7
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Steifer Wind'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 8
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Stürmischer Wind'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 9
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Sturm'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 10
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Schwerer Sturm'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 11
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Orkanartiger Sturm'
  #elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 12
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'Orkan'
  #else
    #set $word_current_beaufort = 'N/A'
  #end if

And, well, the modules, I have in use, alltime seasons and forecast, which have their own extra labelling text built in, are always a pain to keep them uptodate with seasons skin. Adopting all kind of those modules to the new version might be laborious and take some time. Sigh...

[Tom Keffer]

Thanks.

Where does [HistoryReport] come from? It's not part of anything in WeeWX that I can tell.

Same with the Beaufort texts.

And, I agree, converting a skin is a right pain.

I did some tracing back. Now I think, that the history report stanza in skin.conf was introduced by the alltime module. Not sure yet. The beaufort texts might be a result of a copy/paste action from a source, I found somewhere here in the forum, ages ago....
BTW, in index.html.tmpl, where the history report belongs to, the part <div id="history_widget" class="widget"> needs translations also, which seem not to be covered by the en.conf file. But maybe, this was another place, where the alltime module introduced some text.

Somewhen I started to translate everything into German, that I found to be presented as text on the web site. I found it in weewx.conf, index.html.tmpl,  skin.conf, all forecast and alltime related files. I did not look at where these labels came from in original. Anyway, now I know about them, in case updates will mess up with my translations.

But you have a good source for your de.conf file already. So there is no need that I contribute that part.

Hope it helps.

Au revoir.

[Tom Keffer]

Thanks. However, I already have a French translation. 

Would you be willing to do the translation for the Standard skin? It is attached.

[Karen K]

This is the german translation of the Standard skin.

There is a problem. "at" translates to "um", if it is a time, but "at" translates to "am" if it is a date. If it is date and time together, it depends what comes first. 

Examples:

17,5°C um 14:48:49

29,2°C am 10.05.2021 (um) 16:23:35 ("um" is optional there)

[Tom Keffer]

Thanks, Karen.

I have translated in Italian the  localization file. It may have some errors, any feedback is welcome !

Claudio

[Tom Keffer]

Claudio, apologies for taking so long to get back to you. Thank you so much for your submission!

The format of the locale files has changed slightly since the alpha version. I have reformatted your file to conform to the new format. It is attached.

Note that there are several new entries, marked with question marks ('?'). Could you please translate these as well? Specifically, they are:

    "Always down" = "Always down?"
    "Always up" = "Always up?"
    "Current conditions, and daily, monthly, and yearly summaries" = "Current conditions, and daily, monthly, and yearly summaries?"
    "Evapotranspiration (daily total)" = "Evapotranspiration (daily total)?"
    "Evapotranspiration (hourly total)" = "Evapotranspiration (hourly total)?"
    "Evapotranspiration (weekly total)" = "Evapotranspiration (weekly total)?"
    "full" = "full?"    # As in "The Moon is 21% full"
    "History" = "History?"
    "more than yesterday" = "more than yesterday?"
    "This station is controlled by <a href='https://weewx.com'>WeeWX</a>, an experimental weather software system written in Python." = "This station is controlled by <a href='https://weewx.com'>WeeWX</a>, an experimental weather software system written in Python.?"
    "Total daylight" = "Total daylight?"
    "Totals" = "Totals?"

Thank you in advance!
